With respect to achieving the PDOs, eight study recommendations have been adopted in government regulations or guidelines, three studies published, and over 900 central and provincial staff have attended capacity building events. Project selection, approval, and procurement process have been significantly accelerated in recent months. On December 19, 2018, the Ministry of Finance sent a request for project restructuring. Given that the project development objectives remain relevant and that the PMO and implementing teams have made 1/2/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report China Economic Transformation and Institutional Capacity Building (P144270) considerable efforts to improve implementation, project restructuring would allow China’s government to further improve its capacity for evidence- based policy making.
